I made this one for @PickledNorthern . He is going to put a flat-top badger knot in it. I just used my tw0-band badger for the pictures. The bottom is walnut stained/sealed with dark walnut, and the top is mahogany stained/sealed with red oak.
It is beautiful. It is my second 400 model that Jim has made for me. Both times I asked him for something specific, and both times he just nailed it. I want one more of these to put a boar knot into, and then the 400 set will be complete.
